Cary SLI-80 Signature: 6922-6SN7-5U4 tube shootout


Any info from the Cary users group would surely be appreciated.

I don't want to lose bass over the stock tubes that come with.

However, what, if anything out there is a real improvement (and what was improved) over the stockers?

Thanks!!!

lol,
yeah I guess that wiuld be a good place to start!

The 5U4 is a 5U4G Chinese made

THe 6922 are Sovtek

and the 6SN7 are Sovtek 6SN7GT
Actually, the 5U4 rectifiers are Sovtek as are the 6922s. The 6sn7s are chinese. At least that's what was in mine. The 6sn7 were replaced by 1950's Raytheon's and the 6922's were swaped for some NOS Ediswain. These changes were suggested by Kevin Deal of Upscale Audio and they are a good return on the investment (approx. $200). You should give them a call.
